Swimming and rolling over!

At 3.5 months, Nate rolled over for the first time. It was a huge surprise because he didn't seem to be close at all, but I had him propped on his tummy and I could just tell by the way he was moving his legs that he was getting ready to roll onto his back. Since then, he hasn't done a true roll, but if he has one arm tucked, he can roll from his tummy to his back pretty easily. He also had his first swim last weekend when we went to the Harris YMCA. He really seemed to like it, though he really hates the sun in his eyes. I think we'll try the indoor pool next time.

Nate's sleep patterns are no longer rocking my world. We're not sure if it's due to teething, or just the fact that he's always hungry, but he's back to waking up every three hours during the night. Of course, he always goes back to sleep, but I really thought we were all set on sleeping through the night.

His four-month doctor's appointment is in two weeks. I weighed him this morning and he was 17lb. even. I think he'll still be in the 75-90th percentile for height and weight and I really think he's ready for solids. I wanted to wait until closer to six months but I don't think breastmilk is satisfying his appetite anymore. We'll see what they say. He'll also have his second round of shots, ugh!
